If you and I were to have audience with God almighty, there are any number of things we’d want from Him. We certainly have a few questions for Him. Why this? What about that? What would you ask of the God of all creation? Now this: what is it you think God would ask of you? In Matthew 9, we see Jesus reveal something about what God wants through a series of stories in which people cry out to in desperate need ..css-1t8gq41{border:none;background-image:none;background-color:transparent;box-shadow:none;color:#2F3133;cursor:pointer;font-size:inherit;padding:0;-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;width:-webkit-max-content;width:-moz-max-content;width:max-content;}.css-1t8gq41:hover,.css-1t8gq41:focus{-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;}

Jesus famously said, “In this world you will have trouble.” This was an affirmation of a truth we already know—trouble is unavoidable for all humankind. Thankfully, Jesus didn’t stop there. He also said “Take heart! I have overcome the world.” That’s good news, but how does it actually work? What are we supposed to do trouble comes? This week, we’ll consider what Psalm 91 tells us about trouble. Read more

For the next three weeks we believe God is calling us into a focused, intentional season of worship. We’re asking God for the one thing we need most — His empowering presence. This week we’ll look at a story from John 4 to see what happens when Jesus shows up in the unlikeliest of places to the unlikeliest of people.

Psalm 126 is a song of ascents—an epic road trip song—a reminder that God was so good “back then”. God will continue to be good in the future and that goodness is available right now. Psalm 126 invites us to sing along, to remember dreams God gave us, dreams He’s fulfilled, and dreams yet to come. Reality Church of Santa Barbara, it’s time to dream again.

CS Lewis once paid Psalm 19 was “the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world...”. In fact, the scope of Psalm 19 could not be more grand nor its implications more personal. In this message, we’ll meditate David’s word and follow the Spirit’s leading turning our hearts to worship.

The Psalms are that sacred space in Scripture where honest humanity collides with loving divinity. Thomas Merton once said the Psalms “represent the experience of men and women who have prayed in every conceivable circumstance across thirty centuries.” In Psalm 42 we get an intimate glimpse into a soul’s pursuit of God’s presence, not simply for enhanced spirituality, but for in a heart-wrenching cry for survival. Let’s consider P...

If someone were to ask you the condition of your soul right now, how would you respond? Are you running on fumes or full to overflowing? Are you anxious or at peace? Discontent or satisfied? Distracted or in tune with the Spirit? Afraid or full of faith? As AW Tozer suggests, “what comes to mind when you think about God is the most important thing about you.” Psalm 103 points a path to restoring our souls and it all begins when you...

The book of Psalms has been a favorite for followers of Yahweh and of Jesus for centuries, because of its visceral, evocative language and beautiful imagery. Psalm 1 is not only an introduction to the book, but a container for all of its themes, and, as we will see, a kind of shorthand for the key tension in all of Scripture. You may be surprised to find out how much practical this ancient Psalm has on offer to the modern follower ...

The whole world celebrates holidays surrounding the incarnation (Christmas), death (Good Friday), and resurrection (Easter) of Jesus Christ, but very little attention is given to Jesus’ ascension, even in the Church. But the ascension is kind of a big deal.

Hebrew Scripture prophecies it. The New Testament’s most quoted Old Testament verse is about Jesus’ ascension. Peter’s Pentecost sermon cites the ascension as proof of Jesus a...
